An Excursion to Ancient Egyptian Pyramid

Have you ever been to the Egyptian pyramid? It's one of the ancient cities to visit and have a tour. As one of the requirements for scholarship students in Egypt we were taking on a tour to its tourist attraction- which is the Pyramid. It's a structure in a triangular shape constructed with bricks/stones. No one build such a structure in Africa, and it would amaze you how they were able to build the pyramid standing firm without collapsing.

There are three pyramids there. The first being the biggest followed by two other pyramids. Little was said about the pyramids but the biggest which is the first is seen in the pictures. We were able to mingle with some of the Egyptians and one of them had a camel with him which he rented for a ride. I couldn't afford the $100 fee for a ride and only asked that he allow me to take a picture with him.

Behind the pyramid is a cave which contains mummies(embalmed bodies). I think Egyptians are one of the few countries which still practice cave embalming, probably holding a strong culture as the country with the first history of medicine. The cave was dark and could barely see the entire opening.

We had gone there with some of the Nigerian students who are also on scholarship. It was indeed a great time seeing this ancient structure. The pyramid was populated with travelers from different countries who had come to take a tour. This is actually my first tourist visit in a foreign country and it was a lot of fun.

I'll leave you to take a view of some other photos we took on the spot. If you haven't, you may want to consider visiting the Egyptian Pyramid someday.
